Abus Granit chain and current Super Extreme U-locks

Abus Granit Super Extreme 2500: the current position

Abus currently markets the Super Extreme 2500 as a highly attack-resistant U-lock. Its unusual construction, dimensions, weight and frame bracket should all be assessed on the current product page.

A top-tier lock may be justified for an expensive bicycle or exposed parking, but it still depends on a secure stand and a method that captures the frame.

• Current high-security Abus U-lock
• Attack-resistant material focus
• Substantial weight and dimensions
• Product-specific transport bracket

What has changed

The old Granit 1000/100 and current 2500 are not the same format. Historical conclusions about reach, carrying or independent rating cannot be transferred.

Use current insurance requirements and certification databases alongside manufacturer information.

How it works and who it suits

This is specialist high-security equipment. Check that its dimensions fit both the bicycle and local stands and that its weight is realistic for every journey.

For component security or awkward furniture, pair it with a complementary second lock rather than leaving the frame unsecured.

Checks before buying

Colours, materials, fittings and included accessories can change during a product's sales life. Check the exact current listing and retain the maker's instructions.

• Check the maker's current dimensions and compatibility information
• Compare the exact current product rather than an old review score or price
• Confirm warranty, spares and returns before ordering
• Inspect safety-critical fittings regularly once the product is in use
• Verify current independent certification for the exact model

Care, use and replacement

Follow the current maker's instructions for cleaning, adjustment and storage. Dirt, ultraviolet light, sweat and repeated wet use can shorten the life of fabrics, coatings and fittings.

Stop using equipment when a structural attachment, lock, light mount or load-bearing part is damaged. Replacement parts must match the exact generation rather than merely sharing a product-family name.
